Electrochemical corrosion and oxidation resistances of Zr 60 Ni 21 Al 19 bulk amorphous alloys

Electrochemical corrosion and oxidation resistances of Zr 60 Ni 21 Al 19 amorphous alloy were studied. The ternary amorphous alloy exhibits greater positive potential than its crystalline counterpart and 0Cr19Ni9Ti stainless steel. Its weight loss result measured in 2 mol/L HCl solution is in agreement with the potentiodynamic curve. But there is no obvious difference in the oxidation resistances between Zr 60 Ni 21 Al 19 amorphous and its crystalline alloys. They both exhibit high oxidation resistance.
